Secrets

Chapter Six

Ali's POV

Why does it feel like I'm being shaken? "Ali!" I hear, but everything is pitch black. I can't see anything and I now know the shaking is myself, I'm scared and my nerves are getting the best of me. "No! Someone tell me why I can't see anything!" I yell through the darkness. It suddenly gets a little lighter and I see a reddish cloud of smoke and I see black eyes. It forms a devilish grin. I widen my eyes and throw my hand over my mouth to keep myself from screaming. I decide to squeeze my eyes and after doing so, my eyelids throw themselves back open, and I see Sarah shaking me.

"Dude, what the fuck!? All I heard was you screaming and I run in here and you're rolling around on your bed!" Sarah exclaims.

"It was just that nightmare I've always had... you know?" I quietly say.

She breathes a sigh of relief, "okay, I thought you were having a seizure or some shit.." she laughs quietly.

I yawn, "What's the time?"

She checks her phone. "5:15. So you can sleep for 45 more minutes till you absolutely have to get up for school."

"Alright, get out." I laugh as I shoo her away with my hand.

"Okay, okay." she puts her hands in a mock surrender position as she laughs and walks out.

I then throw my face back into my pillow and sleep.

Shortly after I'd fallen back asleep my alarm rang through my ears signaling I need to start getting ready for school.

I had recently gotten a car after saving all the money I'd made babysitting, which tells you I'd been babysitting for a long time. I absolutely love babysitting Lydia's baby, Cassandra, who is almost 2. She's like a part of me and I love her like my own.

So after getting ready for school I oh downstairs to grab my normal morning cup of Joe. my sister then comes down shortly after me doing the same actions I've done for the morning routine.

"You should bring that Harry kid over after school cause I'm bringing Luke. We could all hang out." I suggest with a shrug.

"His name is Hunter, first of all," she snickers, "and sounds like fun, I'm sure he'd be up to it." She smiles.

"You ready to go to the hellhole?" I ask.

She groans mumbling a yes, so with that I start driving to school.

As soon as we get to the parking lot, we walk in together and see Michaela. Sarah tells me something along the lines of 'goodbye motherfucker' so I flip her off in a joking way.

"Hey, Chaela.." I yawn, "how's Michael doing?" Michael is her boyfriend that she just recently got into a relationship with, but I don't know why, because he lives all the way in Australia and we live over her in California!

"Eh he's good," she smiles, "he's dyed his hair a new color." she laughs fully.

After that the bell rang telling us to go to our first class. So me and Michaela said our byes to each other.

During lunch, I spot Luke walking in and he looks like he's looking for someone, so I wait for him to look at me and when he does I wave my hand and he smiles at me. My cheeks turn a light pink at the gesture.

"Hey! What's up Ali?" he asks as I take a bite of ice from the cup I got in the cafeteria.

"Bored as as hell, you?" I chuckle.

"Yeah, same... I'm so tired, and I wish we didn't have school today." he complains.

"Doesn't everyone?" I laugh at his whininess.
